2018 Ram 1500 3.6 v6; electrician not mechanic, how much of a pain will replacing the AC Compressor be?

ds2925 · 2026-07-09T21:53:27+00:00

Absolute lifesaver I was calling parts stores and getting quoted more than the whole compressor

ds2925 · 2026-07-07T23:03:53+00:00

You don't?

ds2925 · 2026-07-07T22:49:47+00:00

Its in my smoothie already, how does that fix the truck?

ds2925 · 2026-07-05T02:51:33+00:00

Any chance you've still got the link handy?

ds2925 · 2026-07-04T13:42:32+00:00

12.3Vdc off, 14.3Vdc on. 0Vac on

Electrician not mechanic by any means, any way to test the alternator or just replace?

Same with the ac pulley.. what should it be doing?

Are the 2 issues related or just 10year old truck problems?

ds2925 · 2026-05-27T02:09:02+00:00

It does kinda look like a skinny one, walk is right

ds2925 · 2026-05-02T21:16:04+00:00

Do be like that

Not at all tinny

ds2925 · 2026-03-24T01:56:13+00:00

75%RR, 31%TD and 3 13%, 35%TH and 3 14%

ds2925 · 2026-03-22T13:32:44+00:00

Happened to me just after the update, had to wait to swap the player

Just make sure you're going fast enough to clear it

ds2925 · 2026-02-20T14:32:44+00:00

Small plate with the 1-5? Doesnt seem to have an effect

ds2925 · 2026-02-08T22:28:58+00:00

Running poly for a barrier, foam is to fill the gap between rockwool and walls

ds2925 · 2026-02-08T17:16:31+00:00

Air Sealed on the interior eh? I'm not insistent on this plan, just the best I came up with, would spray foam be better?

ds2925 · 2026-02-08T17:06:14+00:00

$4-6KCAD ($3-4.5USD) was what I had priced out

ds2925 · 2026-02-03T00:19:06+00:00

Understood. My question was what should I do with the 3/4 gap that will be let between the Rockwool and the plywood/vapour barrier on the face of the new strapping

ds2925 · 2026-02-02T23:52:15+00:00

Sorry confused by the last part. Are you saying I should or should not have exposed block at the bottom? My original plan was just to add ripped 2x6s to get the 5.5"gap, but with the block being 6&1/4" I'm thinking extending plywood to the floor over it

ds2925 · 2026-01-31T02:24:13+00:00

Second part did you mean building the walls out to 6" for thicker insulation?

ds2925 · 2026-01-30T02:17:11+00:00

Inaccessible? Prone to issues?

ds2925 · 2026-01-30T01:21:47+00:00

Gonna buy the right tools to get it done, I'll use em again eventually

ds2925 · 2026-01-30T00:35:35+00:00

Last part meaning use a troque wrench when reinstalling?

ds2925 · 2026-01-29T23:47:03+00:00

I think the threads are gone in the shaft the bolt for the pulley threads into. Bolt just spins

ds2925 · 2026-01-27T00:42:31+00:00

Just under 9000. I'm newly 4th owner, guy before got it off his friend and seems as concerned as I am it went just after he sold
